ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2009 FX35 INFINITI MORE THAN 80% OF THE TIME I EXPERIENCE ELECTRICAL SHOCKS AFTER EXITING MY CAR TOUCHING THE DOOR TO CLOSE IT. I CONTACTED AN INFINITI TO INVESTIGATE AND WAS TOLD THEY FOUND GROUNDS O.K. AND SUGGESTED BEFORE EXITING THE CAR I SHOULD TOUCH THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR FRAME TO DISCHARGE ANY ELECTRICAL CURRENT ESPECIALLY IF I WERE TO GAS UP THE CAR. I CONTACTED INFINITY USA TO SEE IF THEY HAD A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM AND AFTER CHECKING WITH THERE TECHNICAL STAFF THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO EXCEPT RECOMMEND I GO TO ANOTHER INFINITI DEALER AND HAVE THEM INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. THE BOTTOM LINE IS NOTHING WAS FOUND AND THERE WAS NOTHING FURTHER THE COULD DO.I DON'T LIKE BEING SHOCKED TOUCHING THE EXTERIOR OF MY CAR BUT EVEN A GREATER CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE OR WORSE YET EXPLOSION GASING UP. JUST TO EXPAND A BIT ON THE SHOES I WEAR AT THE TIME OF THESE SHOCKS IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER IF THE SOULS ARE LEATHER OR RUBBER, EITHER WAY IT HAPPENS. PLEASE ADVISE ME. *TR
